In downtown Worcester, the storm rained on gubernatorial candidate Tim Cahill's political parade.

The state treasurer had a town hall meeting planned for Mechanics Hall in Worcester.Thanks to the storm, that never happened.

"We lost our air conditioning and we lost our lights and we had to postpone the event so unfortunately for us things didn't work out. But luckily (there were) no accidents, no fatalities. We did have one man stuck in the elevator but fortunately he got out after 45 minutes," Cahill said.

Witnesses say a man was also trapped in an elevator in the Day building across the street.
